Conor McGregor launches fiery response to reports of Umar Nurmagomedov pulling out from UFC Nashville bout

Conor McGregor does not miss a chance to take a jab at Khabib Nurmagomedov and this time, his cousin Umar was at the receiving end of his firey response.

Umar Nurmagomedov was slated to headline a UFC Fight Night event against Cory Sandhagen on August 5th, but an undisclosed injury forced him to pull out, leaving the UFC in search of a replacement.

The 27-year-old's unblemished MMA record and well-rounded fighting skills have made him a perennial threat to the 135-pound strap. McGregor, no stranger to tensions with the Nurmagomedov family, disagrees with this notion.

In a now-deleted tweet, McGregor taunted Nurmagomedov's withdrawal, quipping:

"Runs in the family."
